Evolve502

Education can change a life. And a city. 

Evolve502 is a community-focused organization helping every eligible Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) student pursue the dream of a college education. By expanding educational opportunities and reducing systemic barriers, we can ensure our children reach their full potential and enjoy successful, productive and fulfilling lives.

Because of donors and supporters like you, a two-year, tuition-free postsecondary education is possible for every eligible JCPS graduate. Our scholarship allows students to pursue a two-year degree, workforce training that advances their job skills, or as a pathway to a four-year degree. More than 1,600 graduates from the JCPS classes of 2021, 2022 and 2023 received our scholarship and enrolled in classes at Jefferson Community and Technical College and Simmons College of Kentucky. We hope to have more than 600 from the class of 2024. They started classes just a few weeks ago and don't have final count.

Our community cannot be satisfied with just six classes, though. We need to ensure an entire generation of students can take of advantage of this opportunity, creating a culture of college going in Louisville. Through support from business, the city, and donors, our goal is to fund scholarships for the JCPS Class of 2021-2033. By supporting Evolve502 via Give for Good today, you can directly help extend the scholarship and supports to even more students.

As a community, we promise these students a postsecondary education when they graduate from high school, two-years, tuition-free. We want them to know the financial barriers to higher education are being removed. We believe in them and want them to succeed.

Please join us by making a contribution to Evolve502 today through Give for Good to support students, to invest in their future and help them fulfill their promise.
